Danxia Wonder

God’s spilled palette! Zhangye Danxia Rainbow 3-hour walking guide 🎨

🌈 Rainbow mountain strike! This secret spot, rated by National Geographic as China’s most beautiful Danxia, is breathtaking at first sight! The rolling hills look like a rainbow cake split by a giant axe, every snap is wallpaper-worthy!

📍 Address: Nantai Village, Nijia Ying Town, Linze County, Zhangye City
🚗 Transportation tips: Recommended to charter a car or self-drive (about 40 minutes from the city), sightseeing buses connect all viewing platforms

⏰ Best times to visit:
1️⃣ Sunrise session (5:30-7:00): View golden-red ridges from Viewing Platform 4
2️⃣ Sunset session (after 18:00): Capture the magical light and shadow of the "Colorful Ao River" from Viewing Platform 2

📸 Must-shoot spots:
1️⃣ Hongxia Platform (No. 4): Aerial view! Wave patterns + checkerboard landforms

⚠️ Tips to avoid pitfalls:
• Colors are less vivid on cloudy days! Check the weather forecast in advance
• Sightseeing buses run a one-way loop; if you miss a stop, you have to ride from the start again
• Drones are not allowed! (You can pay the park to take photos for you)
